Geek Night: Ruby and Rails

In this talk Dan North, ThoughtWorks provides a brief introduction to Ruby and Rails and highlights some of the drawbacks of the Rails / ActiveRecord model for web applications. Then he demonstrates an alternative web stack called Ramaze that he believes addresses many of these drawbacks, particularly around the areas of evolutionary design and testability.
